Inventor: FUJII YOICHI
IPC: H03K3/03
Filed: 2000-11-03
Abstract: A piezoelectric oscillator comprises an oscillation stage (2) for generating pulses by exciting a
piezoelectric resonator; and an output stage (13) for amplifying the pulses and outputting the
amplified pulses. Start delay means responsive to electric power to the oscillator being turned on
is provided for delaying the start of operation of the output stage (13) relative to that of the
oscillation stage (2) by a delay time selected from a plurality of available delay times. Thus, the
start characteristics of the oscillator are improved by reducing power noise being generated
during a transient period after the power supply has been switched on.

Abstract: A video-signal output apparatus performs scrambling,
and a video-signal input apparatus performs descrambling.
The scrambling and the descrambling are performed so that
signal lines are shifted for each period corresponding to
one horizontal scanning interval of analog component video
signals which corresponds to a horizontal scanning period
or for each period which is n times one horizontal scanning
period (where n represents a natural number not less than
2). The signal lines are also shifted with timing in a
horizontal blanking period of the analog component video
signals. When authorization is established as a result of
mutual communication between the output apparatus and the
input apparatus, scramble and descramble patterns each are
determined based on mutually obtained information in the
mutual communication.

Abstract: A/D conversion of a current input is performed with integrate-and-fire spiking neurons.
Techniques that upcount or downcount the number of spikes fired by one neuron in a time period
established by another neuron yield quantized estimates of analog charge residues created by the
input current. Recursive application of alternate upcounting and downcounting operations yields
successively finer quantization estimates that are terminated by an error-correction operation to
obtain the least significant bit of the conversion. A spike-based hybrid state machine (HSM)
employing both analog and digital elements is configured to create a 2-step or a
successive-subranging analog-to-digital converter. The speed of the conversion is augmented in a
pipelined topology. In the HSM, a spike-triggered finite state machine (FSM) controls the input
currents to the spiking neurons and is in turn controlled by spikes arising from these neurons. A
realization of a 2-step overrange-subrange A/D converter provides an exemplary illustration of
the successful use of these techniques.

Abstract: An actuation device employing square-loop latchable magnetic material (14, 16)
having a magnetization direction (polarization) capable of being changed in response
to exposure to an external magnetic field is disclosed. The magnetic field is created
by a conductor assembly with non-solenoid configuration. Once the magnetization
direction of the material is so changed, the external magnetic field is no longer
required to maintain the new magnetization direction. The latchable magnetic
material (14) is disposed on the mobile electrode (20) of a switching device, and another
magnetic material (16) is disposed in spaced relation to the latchable magnetic material on
a stationary electrode or surface (28). By applying an electrical current to a conductor
assembly arranged proximate the latchable material, a magnetic field is created about
the latchable magnetic material, to change the magnetization direction and thereby
enable the attraction or repulsion of another magnetic material located on the
stationary electrode. The resulting relative displacement of the mobile (20) and stationary (18)
electrodes effects the selective connection or disconnection of electrical contacts
carried on or associated with the respective electrodes of the actuation device without
requiring additional power in order to maintain the switched state of the electrodes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring voltage input to an appliance, such as a dryer, sensing
when power input to the appliance is lost. In addition, a controller in the appliance pulses relay
coils controlling motors and/or heating devices within the appliance to conserve energy on a
backup capacitor that supplies the control circuit of the appliance in the event of
5 power loss. Further, a voltage sense circuit outputting a square wave effects monitoring of the
input voltage to the appliance by outputting the square wave signal whose cycle period is
monitored to determine power outage. The controller stores current operation settings at the time
of power outage in a memory device and ensures proper storage through the extra energy
conserved from the capacitor by the pulsing of the relay coils.

Abstract: This invention relates to a series of novel opioid peptides for the treatment of pain
and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising those peptides. The
invention also teaches methods for controlling pain in patients using compositions of
the invention. The peptides of this invention have a high degree of selectivity for the
µ-opioid receptor. These peptides are highly lipophilic. In spite of their lipophilic
character they do not readily cross the blood brain barrier (BBB). The peptides of the
present invention are particularly well-suited as analgesic agents acting substantially
on peripheral µ-opioid receptors. Because these peptides act peripherally, they
substantially avoid producing side effects normally associated with central analgesic
action.

Abstract: A method of vertically aligning pure carbon nanotubes on a large glass or silicon
substrate at a low temperature using a low pressure DC thermal chemical vapor
deposition method is provided. In this method, catalytic decomposition with respect to
hydro-carbon gases is performed in two steps. Basically, an existing thermal chemical
vapor deposition method using hydro-carbon gases such as acetylene, ethylene, methane
or propane is used. To be more specific, the hydro-carbon gases are primarily
decomposed at a low temperature of 400-500°C by passing the hydro-carbon gases
through a mesh-structure catalyst which is made of Ni, Fe, Co, Y, Pd, Pt, Au or an alloy
of two or more of these materials. Secondly, the catalytically- and thermally-decomposed
hydro-carbon gases pass through the space between a carbon nanotube growing substrate
and an electrode substrate made of Ni, Fe, Co, Y, Pd, Pt, Au or an alloy of two or more
of these materials or an electrode substrate on which Ni, Fe, Co, Y, Pd, Pt, Au or an
alloy of two or more of these materials is thinly deposited by sputtering or electron-beam
evaporation, the space to which DC voltage has been applied. Thus, carbon nanotubes
are vertically aligned at a temperature no grater than the glass melting point. The thus
grown large carbon nanotube substrate can be applied directly to FEDs, lower the turn-on
voltage for electron emission, simplify the process of manufacturing an FED, and
significantly reduce the manufacturing costs of FEDs. Furthermore, an electrode
substrate holder and a carbon nanotube growing substrate holder are designed to mount
several electrode substrates and several carbon nanotube growing substrates
simultaneously, whereby the productivity is increased.
